After the May-launched EXIR Analogue Camera series, Hikvision is launching its new EXIR Network Camera series.
Keen Yao, International Marketing Director at Hikvisionm said: “As we know, resolution is important, but not everything. Image processing is also crucial. Based on our rich experience in ISP (image signal processing) technology, Hikvision’s R&D team continues its pursuit of improved image quality, especially in difficult lighting conditions. Our EXIR Network Camera series is further proof of this goal.”
The new EXIR network camera series is comprised of the DS-2CD2200-I5 EXIR Bullet Camera series and the DS-2CD2300-I EXIR Turret Camera series, pictured. By employing thin-film and light-emitting technology, this series provides up-to 30 per cent more illuminant efficiency than traditional LED arrays, the makers say.
The series it is claimed provides a 40 per cent light-extraction rate improvement over traditional models, resulting in stronger light for long-range visibility usage. Specifically, the DS-2CD2200-I5 EXIR bullet offers a minimum illumination at 0.01 lux@ F1.2 with AGC on, 0 lux with IR (with up-to a 50m IR range). The DS-2CD2300-I EXIR Turret Camera is slightly different, giving consumers another option. It offers the same minimum illumination, but with up-to a 30m IR range.
To make the most out of IR LED light, the two series both produce LED light in the form of a rectangle to better fit a screen’s normal size (4:3 or 16:9). It helps improve LED efficiency and reduces light pollution in the surrounds. EXIR’s luminance uniformity feature helps to eliminate traditional LED lens issues, such as over-exposure at the center of images, and darker areas at corners.
Both series are comprised of models with 1.3MP resolution and 3MP resolution, delivering images with the latest one-third inch progressive scan CMOS. A built-in 3D DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) reduces noise. D-WDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range) helps to achieve critical detail in images that include highlights, shadows, and mixed lighting.
This new network series offers the firm claims efficient codec compression (said to be 30pc to 50pc above traditional network cameras). This reduces the transmission burden for both video information and storage on IP systems.
Available models:
DS-2CD2212-I5 (1.3MP) / DS-2CD2232-I5 (3.0MP) EXIR Bullet Camera
DS-2CD2312-I (1.3MP) / DS-2CD2332-I (3.0MP) EXIR Turret Camera
